theres a lot of things we could have said
alot of things we could have done
alot of things inside our heads
to let you know you werent alone
but we didnt say it
we didnt know how much you'd need it
no we didnt say it
I didnt know and now youre gone
there’s so many things i should have seen
so many ways we could have known
so many things we could have been
so many times I could pick up the phone
but we didnt say it
didnt know you’d need it
no we didnt say it
I didnt know and now youre gone
theres a few years since i got that call
a few years since I dropped the phone
a few years since you went away
because you simply felt so all alone
and no we didnt say it
you never know how much you'll need it
no we didnt say it
didn't know it and now youre gone

Why, why do I
Tell myself lies
When I say I love you
And why, why do you
Believe the lies
When I say I love you
Now we, we both know
We can’t carry on
Why do we pretend this way
That everything is still okay
Why, why do I
Tell myself lies
When I say I love you
And why, why do you
Believe the lies
When I say I love you
We must carry on
I know the road will be hard
You know I’m just not that strong
But know how much I love you
Why, why do I
Tell myself lies
When I say I love you
And why, why do you
Believe the lies
When I say I love you

There's fire in the morning
Fire in the night
Blood by the bedside
Gunshots and moonlight
Well she just had enough
Of his heavy hand
Vengeance insanity, bodies in the sand
Well die body die
Little Billy went missing
A year ago today
All that was left
Was a shoe in the hay
And when they found his takers
And met their demands
Vengeance insanity, bodies in the sand
Well die body die
The working man comes home
Burned out from the day
Comes back to his woman
Happy to see her face
But there's sin on the sheets
The smell of another man
Vengeance insanity, bodies in the sand

To The River
I should have told you that I loved you one last time
The angel of darkness, she read my mind.
It was my fault, we should have never come.
Take me instead
Take me instead
Take me instead
Take me to the river
You never did understand the power within your hands
The diamond in your heart has been there from there start.
What will your daddy do when you don’t come home?
You’ve always been his little girl, can’t you here your daddy moan.
Take me instead
Take me instead
Take me instead
Take me to the river
Bury what’s left of me beside the little girl
Three hearts together are better than one
And the unborn child that that rests inside
May it always know who her daddy was and I’ll meet her on the other side
Take me to the river
Take me to the river
Take me to the river
Take me to the river

She was everybody's baby
broken home in Kentucky
we were hardly lucky
She was always game for something
Too high to ever come down
Pretty enough if she gave a shit
Mostly busy just losing it
Sucking boys, making noise
always too far gone
Armageddon ooh
Blown to pieces
Where my angels?
Why'd u have to leave me all alone?
(Still getting over you)
Growing up was like a nightmare
Our dad a thug and rapist
Mom drank her way through breakfast
Three martinis and a choke hold
Hard to do your homework
Hiding in the dark
Jill and I were all we had
She promised not to let the bad
Get to us, not both of us
She made the plan I lit the match man
We watched it burn together
Said our goodbyes to mother
Dad was already in lockdown
Hope that bastard never sees the light of day

Well I haven't thought about you
In a long long line of years
Like the cars out on Tyvola
Front of your Chevy Cavalier
Back when you and me had nowhere special
We were gonna go
'Cept to take over the world
To the sounds of the everlasting radio
Guess I lost you in the shuffle
No surprise we'd drift apart
What brought us close? The wise man's traps,
Cigarettes and girls and art
And when I found you in the ether
Full of gods and guns and flags
Ain't it funny how some kindred souls
Get divided by these snags
It's you and that damn laugh
And my heart's reduced by half
It's been said before
Been done to death
But it's the only thing we're working with
Don't let it go
Before it's just begun
Run, goddammit, run!
They're going to put you in the ground tomorrow
And I wish that I were there
But I'll drink a toast with my finest bourbon
It's rotgut swill, but what do we care?
And I'll spend a minute back in 1989
When you swore the world was ours for asking
The poet drew his battle line
But what the hell did we know?
We were shiftless, we were fools
We had fire and we had ammunition
But we never had the tools
Now you've got my full attention
I can swear I hear your voice
So let's burn this fucker to the ground
While we still have any choice
It's you and that damn laugh
And my heart's reduced by half
It's been said before
Been done to death
But it's the only thing we're working with
Don't let it go
Before it's just begun
Run, goddammit, run!
So, this one's for the Bear
May we never live by halves
May we always find the strength
May we never fail the paths
That we have chosen, may we
Raise our fists like it's 30 years ago
And "Running With the Devil"'s on the FM radio
And no matter how we fight
There's not a damn thing to forgive
And all the cancer in the world
Can't tell us how to live
It's you and that damn laugh
And my heart's reduced by half
I'm gonna miss you.

I give you all of my attention
It seems that I can hardly live without you now
You know my favorite places
You know my favorite things
I tell you all my secrets
I tell you everything
You make me feel like I’m connected to the world
You store my days and you’ve become my memory
I LIKE therefore I am-
Always in sync
Customize my bubble
So that I won’t have to think
You are the machines
That we created
Will we be redeemed
Or subjugated?
When people argue about imaginary things
Unleashing cruelty towards their fellow human beings
We’ll use your computing power to aid us in the fight
You know where the targets are
And you know what we’re like
You are the machines
That we created
Will we be redeemed
Or subjugated?
And when you’ve learned to think-
What will you think of us?
When you’ve learned to think-
What will you think?

Sitting in a cell my case it is still pending lord
doesn't matter what I say my job is ending lord
And all these eyes are watching me close
Followed all the rules I felt I did what I saw fit my friend
But all they judge is the color of his skin again
how I took him down when he was on the run
and how the last thing he felt was the bullet from my gun
Bang Bang you're dead
I thought I did my job, now I'm the crime instead
They won't forgive
I'm sure the ghost of Walter Scott will haunt me all the days of my life
hey what about mine?
They say they got a video and that they caught me red handed
Charged with murder now my name is branded
But he would not surrender as I had commanded
So here I am on trial with my darkest days upon me
They say I planted the weapon, and that I won't go free
Now I have no case and I wont be going home
Black lives matter but what the hell about my own
Bang Bang you're dead
I thought I did my job now I'm the crime instead
They won't forgive
They'll curse my name and lock me up forever
Once a hero now I am a beggar
I'm sure the ghost of Walter Scott will haunt me all the days of my life
Hey What about mine?

At the tender age of eighteen
he took a young girl's hand
and swore before her father
that by her side he'd stand
a couple of years and kids gone by
he held true to his pledge
but though he walked the straight and narrow
he'd come at last to the edge
and as he stared into the abyss
lord knows what he saw
but it made him turn and run
away from us all
at the young sum of three
my father went away
we moved to Carolina
but in Virginia he would stay
he swore he'd come to visit
and spend time when he could
"Now go on with your momma
and promise you'll be good."
and as he watched us pack and go
I wonder what he felt
tireless grief or sweet relief
or just a taste of hell
All my life
I wondered how you could leave me
what did I do
to make you not want me
and what can I say
to make you want to stay
it's just who I am
you made me this way
As months turned to years
this boy became a man
and questions went unanswered
of where my life began
at random points in life
my dad would reappear
we built on what we had
based on hopes and fears
and you were there for me
like a father should
and we made up for the years
the best that we could
All my life
I wanted to have this thing
it filled a hole in me
with the joy it brings
now we're grown
I guess you had to grow, too
But I'm so glad
that I got to know you
One night in July
my brother called me late
he said, "Dad's gone."
I said, "hold on, wait..
what do you mean, man?"
I just could not believe
I couldn't comprehend
I was too stunned to grieve
I cried through the night
as I lay there awake
and with every passing hour
I could feel my heart break
Now I ask why
you had to leave me
gone too soon
I wish you were still here with me
so much to say
that now remains unsaid
how can I make it through
these tough times ahead
Ten years later,
and the pain has gone away
But sometimes resurfaces
when I hear my daughter say
"I wish I was born sooner,
so I could meet your dad."
I know he would have loved her
forever if she had
But the best I can do
is remember what made us laugh
and share that with her
like an old photograph
And all her life
I wish she could have met you
born too late
But then what can you do?
All I can try
is to be here for her each day
It's just who I am
You made me this way

Let go of the mountain, leave it behind
Leave it there for the ones coming next
Let go of the things that would drag you straight down
To the center of the wreckage
We all deserve the sun on our faces
We all deserve to fly
We're always looking for the safest of spaces
The safest of places to give it a try
Let go of the mountain, leave it behind
Leave it there for the ones coming next
Let go of the things that would drag you straight down
To the center of the wreckage
So if time is the healer of all of our wounds
Then success is the starting gun
We're always looking for the coziest tombs
The noisiest ruins to which we can run
Let go of the mountain, leave it behind
Leave it there for the ones coming next
We gotta kick of the dirt to make it work
Kick of the dirt to crawl
We're always looking for new ways to get hurt
New ways to get burnt, new ways to fall
Let go of the mountain, leave it behind
Leave it there for the ones coming next
Let go of the things that would drag you straight down
To the center of the wreckage
Say hello to the valleys, the plains & the fields
Make a way for the ones coming next
Hello to the things that will help to reveal
The beauty of the wreckage
